There so many geniuses on here who think the problem is our three at the back formation. Well here's a few counter points.

You think Naughton can play as a centre half in a back four? :roll:

Someone claimed on another post that Bidwell was better in a back four than as a wing back. Disagree. What about those times he'd be at the far post to score from right wing crosses.

If anything I believe Manning is more suitable as a left back in a back four. Look at how bad we've been with him at wing back instead of playing him as a LCB in a back three.

In a nut shell I don't think our problem is the formation. I think it's personnel.

Our centre backs especially is a case of quantity over quality.

We are fucked when it comes to choosing the best RCB. We haven't got anyone other than Naughton who can play the sweeper role for the moment and Manning is the only one I've been impressed with in the LCB position.

Martin does need to bring in players to improve this. But he still doesn't help himself when he picks Joel at left wing back instead of Kyle Joseph.

Nonetheless I'm getting seriously pissed off with the toxic knee jerk idiots on here and at the home games.

Like it or not Martin is the manager so he chooses the team. It was also pretty clear to me that he won't give in and ditch the three at back formation so stop whining.
